You all will be able to vote for your favorite indie game to win starting November 1st through November 30th

You may vote once per day for your favorite indie game

All of your votes will collectively account for 75% of voting while the five major IGR staff members will individually account for 5%

I have to give my vote for Dex. The game captured my interest the moment it hit the stores on Steam, with its cyberpunk(ish) RPG themes. I was a fan of System Shock 2 and its successors at the time, and seeing and playing this game made me think of System Shock 2 so much that it won me over.

I sincerely hope it gets that award, just as much as I hope it makes the trek over to the console side in the next year.

The Weaponographist takes it hands-down. I’ve played and seen a few others in the list but honestly this takes the cake – a fun replacement for games like Binding of Isaac and one that encourages speedrunning and practice.

Simply put, you build your own prison, but it isn’t as simple as that. Each game is something new, as you design your prison the way you want. Maybe you’ll create a 400 capacity max sec. prison. Maybe you’ll fail terribly and your prisoners all escape. Maybe you’ll attempt to reform the prisoners. Maybe you’ll just punish them. The decisions are all yours.

I voted prison architect, besides the fact that you can play the game for many hours without it getting boring, I also felt like they did their early development really well were so many early development games don’t

Voted for Prison Architect. In short because it’s the prison sim you never knew you wanted. Tongue-in-cheek while still somewhat “realistic”. Great minimalistic sound design, loads of replayability, so-so graphic design, but that’s the way it’s made. Gave me a bit theme hospital vibes, but in a different kind of setting.

Prison architecture, I was able to spend hours in this game and not get bored. That’s a big plus, the graphics remind me of south park lol and the game play is a challenge. The devs always kept up on the game so again big plus. This game definitely deserves the award for all their hard work and the great playability!

Prison Architect! As simply it looks, its content is so vast so there is like million options to achive any of your goals, and its so fun! Also, creators are enhancing it furher and there is no aditional small payment available nor needed to have full game as in most of games nowdays.

Prison Architect! Fantastic game, have been playing the alpha since it started. The devs did alpha release the way it should be done – regular updates, and the game just got better and better. Have been loving the full release and can’t wait to see how they build on the escape mode!
